"Hurry up, let me see this train with my own eyes, and see if its cargo capacity is as strong as you say!"

After the voice of winning politics fell.

The public loses and does not dare to slack off.

In fact, he had already made it here, and he had succeeded in building a train for traction.

At present, more than a dozen trains have been driven by soldiers and horses drawn by oxen.

Then give assembly on top of the train.

Hung on the steam locomotive, hung on the back of the steam locomotive.

At this moment, with these things in place, Ying Zheng gave an order, and one by one soldiers came over with bags of grain on their backs, and each bag of grain was a standard one hundred catties.

Thousands of bags of grain were carried one after another, and then loaded on these dozen trains one after another, looking at the full load in front of them.

A ten-minute train with a load.

Behind the civil and military officials, the ministers couldn't help but shake their heads one after another.

In their opinion, how can such a large amount of cargo be pulled?

In such a situation.

Everyone didn't have much confidence in this steam locomotive, and at this time, under the order of the long-awaited Win Zheng, the steam locomotive that had been warmed up and could be started at any time.

Then the steam locomotive was quickly started.

For a moment there was a rumbling sound in the air, and it went straight to the steam locomotive to drive hard.

The pace of the start was slow, but the scene had already shocked Ying Zheng.

Because it must be an amazing thing to be able to pull such a weight of goods, and a little slower speed is nothing, because ordinary people can pull supplies and walk not much faster.

But with the operation of the steam locomotive.

Ying Zheng's face also showed a shocked expression.

As the steam locomotive starts, the train is pulled along with it, under the action of inertia.

The speed is getting faster and faster.

In the blink of an eye, the speed has increased to ten kilometers per hour.

Although at this rate.

It's still slow.

It's about the same speed as an average person's jogging.

But even so, this scene still shocked Yingzheng very much.

I only saw that Ying Zheng was satisfied, commented on the steam train, and then said with emotion.

"Yes, yes, this steam locomotive is really good, I am very satisfied, I should vigorously produce it, as for this railroad, it should also be built quickly, and it should be built by the public, and I am planning to build a railway between Xianyang and Luoyang, I don't know, is there any difficulty?"

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no difficulty, the two places are not too far apart, but with Weichen's idea, this matter cannot be repaired first, the railway between Xianyang and Naluoyang should be repaired first, and a railway from the iron mine to the ironworks near Xianyang should be built first!"

"Why is that?"

After the voice of the public defeat fell, Ying Zheng inevitably frowned, and he asked.

I only heard Gong Yi Shangsao open his mouth and explain.

"And I don't know, the construction of this railway is not an easy thing, it needs to consume a lot of steel, as well as a lot of wood, these things, a large amount, relying on the iron ore near Xianyang is difficult to meet, so it is necessary to build a railway, which can facilitate the transportation of iron ore, as well as the coal, so that you can have enough coal to start the steam train, and have enough coal and iron ore to make iron!"

"So that enough iron can be smelted to make rails!"

"In addition to these two railways, the construction of the railway requires a large number of sleepers, and these sleepers also need to be harvested from the mountains and forests near Xianyang, and transporting sleepers is a big job, so Weichen thinks that a railway should also be built to the mountains, so as to transport the timber in the mountains and forests to the ...... Xianyang."

"I don't know what you think, Your Majesty?"

"Then where did the construction of the railway start, and did it start to build it from Xianyang? At the same time, the raw materials needed for the repair were transported by train to the construction site, right? ”

Ying Zheng opened his mouth to ask.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is exactly this idea, that's what he thinks!"

Gong lost Shangzao, nodded and said.

To this, Ying Zheng nodded, and he said.

"Then, do what you want!"

"All in all, this railway is mainly a good thing, especially this steam train, a car can pull hundreds of thousands of catties of materials, and just now, I witnessed it with my own eyes, this is not his final strength, plus tens of thousands of catties, he can still pull!"

"In this way, what does this prove, if there are dozens of such trains to transport supplies, there will be no need for so many people, so many people, cattle and horses to transport materials in the future, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

For a while, the ministers next to them opened their mouths and said, they were all shocked by the steam train in front of them.

In their minds, there had never been anything so powerful.

Look at the train.

Everyone was horrified from the bottom of their hearts.

But at this moment, there was a strange sound in the air.

I saw a minister stand up, look at the train with disdain, and then say to Yingzheng.

"Your Majesty, this train has advantages, but Weichen wants to talk about his shortcomings at the moment!"

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng's face changed slightly, and when he saw this minister, he couldn't help but show his displeasure, and at this time, he only heard this minister say his opinion.

"Although this train is good, he has a shortcoming, that is, his speed is too slow!"

"How can he compare to a horse if he is not as fast as a horse, less than half the speed of a horse?"

The moment this loud and deep voice fell, Ying Zheng's face changed slightly, but Ying Changsheng Gong on the side inevitably let out a sneer.

I saw Ying Changsheng open his mouth disdainfully and said.

"It's true that his speed is not as fast as that of a horse, but the question is, when did such a thing as a horse appear, 10,000 years ago and 100,000 years ago, there may have been a horse, but today, how much faster can the fastest horse be?"

"How much faster can you be than the original horse? Probably not much faster, it hasn't improved much in tens of thousands of years! ”

"It's even possible that the speed has degraded, but look at the train next to it!"

"He didn't appear a few months ago, he didn't appear in my Daqin, no one in this world thought of such a machine, but now it's here, his speed has just been seen by everyone, about half the speed of the war horse!"

"In other words, the train built in a few months is only half slower than the horses that have been bred for tens of thousands of years!"

"What's more, the quality of the horse is there, even if it is these sweaty BMWs, how fast can they be?"

"But what about this train? There was such a speed at the beginning of its birth, and if it continues to be studied more and more over time, how fast should it be? ”
